Are Our Soldiers
Getting a "Square Deal"?
As the din of war dies away, lesser sounds become audible and our papers arc beginning
to give car to various creakings and joltings of our military machine with special attention to
their effect upon the individual soldier.
Thus we hear many complaints that discharged soldiers are stranded far from home
without money or a job; that we have not provided adequate hospital accommodation for our
returning wounded; that there is an unpardonable holding back of soldiers' pay and the allot
ments of pay made by soldiers to their families; and that there is delay and inaccuracy in pub
lishing the casualty lists and excessive slowness and failure in handling the soldiers' mail.
In an important article in this week's LITERARY DIGEST these various complaints
arc set forth and the views of newspaper editors and others regarding them are presented.
Other articles of great interest in this number are:

In Fairness
In every Statler bedroom is a framed
card giving the rates for that room
for one person, and for two.
Thus you know you're paying just
what every other occupant of that room
pays no more, no less; and that you
won't be overcharged through a mis
understanding, yours or the clerk's.
You have as much right to sec prices
marked in plain figures at your hotel, as
in the stores you patronize.
That framed card is one of the many
concrete applications of the Statler
policy of fairness,
and of a full and
honnst money's
worth to every
patron.
S
Go where vou will among the millions of our people
on the other side, whether in camp or hospital, in occu
pied or friendly territory, jou will find everywhere the
men and women in and out of uniform eagerly reading
Till: LITERARY DIGEST, which to them reprc
seats home and all that the word connotes, the peace,
progress, and prosperity that they have left behind them
lor a while to help make the world a better and safer
place to live in. The general headquarters, the private
when off duty, the Y. M. C. A. and K. of C. worker,
the Red Cross nurse or orderly, all these and many other
representath es of our great service for humanity keep
busy the largest distributors in France with their con
stant demands for this greatest of news-magazines.
Ecn in the air it finds a hearty welcome. Witness this
tribute rcceicd from a Major in the Aviation Scru'ce,
along with a battered and discolored specimen of a
recent issue: "I am returning herewith a copy of THE
LITERARY DIGEST, which might possibly interest
jou. This copy accompanied me in an aerial trip of
about 600 miles over France, and was read practically
from cover to cover, at an aerage altitude of about
8,000 feet." You can not do better than follow the
example set you by this great host of jour compatriots.
